Middle Grove is an unincorporated community in Monroe County, Missouri, United States.
History
The community was settled in 1830,[3] and founded by John C. Milligan and Jacob Whittenburg.[4] The community was named due to its location in the center of a rural district.[5] A post office called Middle Grove was established in 1835, the name was changed to Middlegrove in 1894, and the post office closed in 1907.[6]
In 1942, heavy rains hit the community, forcing residents onto rooftops to await help.[7]
In 1979, Melvin Lute was stabbed and shot in his Middle Grove trailer home. His wife Shirley and son Roy were charged with the murder.[8]
